Only for You, Kenda!!

This picture shows how I feel about being "tagged," but I'll do it for you, Kenda!

MY 8 FAVORITE TV SHOWS:

umm . . . I don't really watch t.v. very much.  But when I do, I like the following-

Oprah

Studio 5 (a local daytime lifestyle-type show)

Rachael Ray

Curious George (yes, I like it)

uhh.  that's all.  ok.

RESTAURANTS:

Macaroni Grill (love the bread and appetizers, love the entrees, love the dessert)

Tony Caputo's (SLC- yum, yummy Italiano)

Olive Garden (order the Tour of Italy- three meals in one!)

Tuscany (SLC area- bring lots of $$$)

Cafe Pig (GA- pulled pork so good that I bottled the sauce and flew it back to Utah with me.)

Los Hermanos (and, no, I don't go there for the "authentic" Mexican food.  I like the fake kind.)

California Pizza Chicken (love the BBQ chicken salad)

Little America Hotel Breakfast Buffet

THINGS THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY:

I ran into Karli Haglund from ATL at my favorite boutique, found out she WORKS there (lucky dog), and she ordered in a little birthday surprise for Madeline on the house in their cute little bistro!  We had a maahvelous time, and little Miss Middle felt like a princess with her own little birthday cake on a doily, (which was on a silver tray), frosted to perfection with a tall. lit candle and a Fizzie Lizzy to drink.  (Think Delta Crown Room- Sprite with grenadine on the rocks) with REAL freshly whipped cream in a tall clear plastic cup and a tall straw.  Ah!  I really envied her!  (Madeline)

I packed Madeline up for school with her basket of "corn" (Caramel Rice Krispie Treats wrapped in corn husks) for her pilgrim feast at preschool.  She dressed up in an old-fashioned-looking dress that I wore when I was little.  (And it was also the one I wet my pants in at the Fox Theater in ATL on a third grade class field trip.  Now that was fun!)

I made some MEAN fajitas for dinner.  And I ate the leftovers this morning at 9:55 am.  Close to lunchtime, right??

I attempted to take a nap.  Madeline sNOreS, and Choobers decided for the first time in like a month that she wasn't going to take her afternoon nap.  Yep, it was a POOPER!  (Not that I couldn't take a nap, but the reason for Kensington's naplessness.)

I got to hang out with my hubby!!  Very precious time spent together.

I sang Happy Birthday to Madeline.

I ate chocolate cheesecake.

I almost said to an unmentioned person, "I know you are, but what am I?"

THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO:

Bedtime tonight

Seeing Dallas tomorrow

Eating turkey dinner

My next workout

Playing Santa (or should I say, "Mrs. Claus")

Putting on my doggie pj's and curling up with a good book

Chocolate cheesecake leftovers

Spending a day with my family tomorrow

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT FALL:
